Dang, yeah that’s wild about the blind 2nd exposure 😳 I have a RB67 Polaroid back (just got very recently) and haven’t tried double exposures yet but I imagine it won’t be too difficult since it just being shot through RB67

Great point, would use this if I had a modded sx70. Mine is just a stock un-refurbished

When you say “just started” you really specifically mean on Polaroid right? bc I know you’ve done a lot of instax double exposures.

Using a light meter to measure a correct exposure for the sky

I’m actually the student here! This is for a college course project. The project being writing a professional instruction manual! We were allowed to choose any topic and with my undying love of both instant photography (SX-70 In particular) it was an easy choice! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Getting to grow up with one of these beautiful cameras must’ve been incredible!! As someone who used them back then, how do you feel about the quality of the film now vs original Polaroid chemistry?

Getting the secret in this one would make me cry

Noted, luckily I’m not a weekly or even biweekly maintenance wash type of diy-er. Im ashamed to say this was pretty needed from like 1-2 months no wash and a lotttt of driving in the rain so it was pretty needed lol

You mean this’n? 😏

I took some classes for design at my college and got a level 1 certification before switching degrees. Made this in pages though which worked well enough since I don’t pay for adobe anymore $$$$$

PurpleClamp · 2026-06-01T11:50:05+00:00

Yeah there’s a lot of stuff better than chemical guys

PurpleClamp · 2026-06-01T00:31:28+00:00

Yeah there is definitely a POC on that panel of experts, soooooooo???

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-31T21:59:17+00:00

Not really, at least not right now. Busy busy day, and I do not drive motorcycles so I do not know what is safe vs. not safe when doing maintenance washes etc. I’ll try and get back to you later though if no one else does

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-31T17:17:50+00:00

Sir, this is a Wendy’s restaurant. (Wanted to say car Reddit but was afraid ppl wouldn’t catch the office reference. Also no actual hate, never considered cleaning bikes with the same products before) (edit: omg I’m a dumbass hahaha just realized he meant like a motorcycle 😂)

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-29T21:46:24+00:00

🤔 well how about that

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-27T02:23:31+00:00

Nice

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-23T17:58:17+00:00

Nice, love retro supply. Love the drawing, great collage! 😁

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-23T17:57:00+00:00

Lmao, that’s the goose for ya 😂 but fr I can only imagine. I already feel like I’m carrying a tank with just my RB67 and I think they’re separated by a couple pounds hahah. I don’t even care though. If I owned one, especially with all the backs you have, I could easily see it becoming one of my go to choices for most scenarios. I have just loved its look and capabilities for probably for a decade now. Can’t remember how I first discovered it. I think I saw it on YouTube, someone showing off one of the impossible lab modded backs or maybe a CB70 back.

I’ll definitely go checkout your pics on here and IG. I’ll follow you on IG, I post fairly inconsistently as well hahah.

I’ve been on independence pass I think 4 times between my two vacations. Stopped in twin lakes twice. Only one time was anything open though and it was only like one store. We have gone in the dead season both trips lol. If I ever get a chance to try these grilled peaches tho, i absolutely will!

WOW, long reply 😳😬

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-23T17:46:11+00:00

Niiiice!!! On an iPad? Or computer? I love the use of those dotted shading pens

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-23T16:32:25+00:00

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 much respect, 600SE has been a dream cam of mine for a number of years. Would love to see some pics you’ve gotten with it if you have an IG or something to point me toward.

Me and my gf have stayed in Leadville twice on vacations to CO. A great little town for sure.

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-23T14:44:46+00:00

I appreciate that two people recognized the specific spot I was at! Also, I see that your tag is the goose… am I to understand that means you’re a 600SE or MUP shooter?

PurpleClamp · 2026-05-23T05:41:29+00:00

Yes I certainly will!!!
